Zhao Linger said distressedly: "My dear son, how can you still say that she has never bullied you? She hung you on the flagpole that day, and your mother saw it clearly."
Yu Fei on the side smiled and said, "Senior Sister, I have checked our son's health for you. He is in good health. Maybe Zhao Min is just a little fierce on the surface. She really didn't dare to do anything to our son."
Zhao Linger glared at Yu Fei fiercely: "You little girl, are you speaking well of Zhao Min? What do you mean?"
Yu Fei whispered cunningly, "Senior Sister, our young master and Zhao Min disappeared for two days. I don't know what happened during these two days, but when the young master came back, the robe he was wearing was lost. Do you believe that nothing happened?"
Zhao Linger quickly said: "Shut up, you little girl. There are some things that we can't ask unless the young master tells us. Besides, that little slut Zhou Zhiruo didn't say anything, so why should we be in such a hurry?"
…
On the other side, after Zhao Min sent Yu Fei and Xiao Yuxiao away, generals such as Wang Baobao surrounded them: "Your Majesty..."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "I know what you want to ask. Don't worry, I have already talked to Zhang Wuji. We can retain 60,000 soldiers, but he asked me to bow to him in public and stay by his side as a hostage. I agreed to all these things."
After hearing this answer, Wang Baobao was both happy and surprised.
The good news was that the number of troops that could be reserved was twice as much as the original number, but the shocking thing was that Zhao Min had to stay with Zhang Wuji as a hostage.
Wang Baobao said quickly: "Your Majesty, you can't do this. If you stay with Zhang Wuji, your life will be in danger. You must stay with your own soldiers."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Not everything can be discussed. If you were Zhang Wuji, you would do the same. Or, if you were Zhang Wuji, I would have died long ago."
"I have already discussed this matter with Zhang Wuji, so there is no need to say more. You should immediately select 60,000 elite soldiers from our army, and then let the other soldiers put down their armor and weapons and let them return to the grassland. The other supplies and money in the army should also be distributed to them. In addition, send someone to Daxing City to transport the armor and swords that we don't need to the city, but don't forget to ask Zhang Wuji for some food and herbs."
"I have already discussed the basic things, and the remaining small matters shouldn't be too big of a problem."
"I'm tired and want to take a nap. The general can take care of the rest."
…
Zhao Min was indeed tired.
She hasn't had a good rest for many days. No matter what, she has saved her life now. Since she is still alive, she must learn to get enough rest.
Looking at the soldiers in front of her, Zhao Min felt some emotions in her heart, but she couldn't tell what those emotions were. At this point, no difficult situations had arisen. It was as if some soldiers were giving Zhao Min desperate advice, asking her to hold on.
Zhao Min didn't hear a word of this voice. After all, things like the country and the people were too far away from ordinary soldiers. They had already reached the end of the road. For those ordinary soldiers, who would really care about things that were out of their reach?
Looking around, she only saw some sadness.
After sighing, Zhao Min returned to her central military tent.
But at this moment, Li Yao was already waiting for her here.
Zhao Min laughed and said, "Girl, I have already surrendered. Haven't you heard the news?"
Li Yao said: "It's not surrender, it's just peace talks."
Zhao Min said: "Talks of peace are just nonsense. In front of you, I can still tell you a few words of truth. I'm afraid that my reign as the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty is coming to an end. You are free now."
"Freedom?" Li Yao muttered softly, "Freedom doesn't seem to be very important to me. What's more, my parents died early and I have nowhere to go. Before, when that little guy was still around, I at least had something to do every day. Now that the little guy is gone, I will take care of your daily life in the future."
Zhao Min said: "I can hardly protect myself, and I have given you a rare chance to be free. If you can't seize it, you can't blame me."
Li Yao said: "You are not a bloodthirsty person, and Zhang Wuji is not a bloodthirsty person either. If I stay with you big guys, my life can be better. If you drive me away, if I meet some stragglers again, I am afraid I will be unable to control myself again."
…
At this moment, Zhao Min saw a trace of relief from Li Yao. No matter what, apart from those necessary interests, there was actually someone who was willing to stay with her. In addition, Li Yao herself was a Han Chinese, which made this even more rare.
…
In Daxing City, Zhang Wuji was extremely happy when he saw his son.
He snatched Xiao Yuxiao from Zhao Linger's arms and said, "My good son, you miss your father so much. Your father is useless and has made you suffer. Tell your father if Zhao Min has bullied you. If so, I will never let her go."
Xiao Yuxiao said: "Daddy, I'm fine. That big sister only spanks me on the butt when she is angry with you. At other times, she is nice to me."
"Sometimes, she would hug me even when she was sleeping."
Zhou Zhiruo on the side said: "Poor little thing, you are so wronged. You are so young, but you are taken advantage of by that stinky woman Zhao Min. She is really a piece of shit."
Zhao Linger, Yu Fei and others quickly turned to look at Zhou Zhiruo. Zhou Zhiruo said, "Why are you looking at me? Zhao Min hugged our son to sleep. If she didn't take advantage of our son, could it be that our son took advantage of her?"
Yu Fei laughed and said, "What Sister Zhou said seems to make some sense. I just misunderstood it."
Zhou Zhiruo frowned: "Of course you misunderstood. I'm afraid your mind is crooked again. Our son is only a few years old. You can't look at our son with the same eyes as you look at Zhang Wuji."
Zhang Wuji was helpless: "Zhiruo, today is a great day, you are not allowed to bring the topic to me all the time."
…
This day is indeed a good day. No matter what, Zhao Min will temporarily withdraw from the stage of fighting for supremacy in the world from today on.
As for what will happen to Zhao Min in the future, it depends on how well Zhang Wuji controls her.
…
Two days later, in the morning, when Yu Fei and Zhu'er were tidying up Zhang Wuji's clothes, Zhou Zhiruo suddenly rushed in: "My dear, Zhao Min has dismissed most of her troops. The only remaining 60,000 people have already lined up outside the city."
"In accordance with your previous request, Yang Xiao and other generals have already surrendered their weapons in advance."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Good, very good. It seems that Zhao Min is ready to surrender to me. Let's go out of the city and take a look."
